General Premier League Thread 2023-24 Mod Note in op 27/6/23 And 21/05/24

..

PGMOL have released a statement apologizing for the diaz incorrect call.

they are doing a full review and blaming human error....jokers.

that person needs to be sacked

Sick of VAR, just get rid of it if they can't use it properly

How the utter fúck do you get that wrong. Not the first time either, happened in Brentford - Arsenal last year. Somebody "forgot" to draw the lines to check the offside. The sheer ineptitude on display is staggering.

you know the way in horse racing or 100m sprints there is camera following down the line all the time..the PL have the money to do that if they want.

takes the nonsense perspective argument out of it

They didn't forget to draw the lines this time, they just didn't look at the offside decision at all.

FIFA and UEFA use the VAR like the image below, it's excellent and really shows if a player is on or off.

What's to stop the PL bringing this in and we don't have these issues anymore?

Neville is now saying that they heard from the VAR feed that the check was complete so I'm completely confused now.

I haven't seen what Klopp has said but I'd like for him to come out in a calm manner and just say that he feels VAR is not up to the task and then walk off. The other managers will follow suit quick enough.

I think the issue most people have with the Jones one is VAR leaving the still of the impact on the screen so that's the first thing the ref sees.

There was a tackle from Spurs player 9n Gakpo before the Liverpool goal where his shin pins down Gakpos ankle. If you show the ref a still of that as well it's a red.

The issue here is that VAR is used to "punish" Liverpool and not used to also "punish" Liverpool.

VAR thought it correct to call the referee over to re-consider the yellow card, but not to have a look at the "goal".

Someone up here, and a few on Twitter have mentioned "sinister reasons" and its a fair point, because all they have to do is issue an apology and wring their hands.

The fundamental part of VAR I thought they had right, was offside. Now? If you knew the right people in VAR you could, in theory, make a lot of money!

Getting rid of var, particularly for offside checks, is not the answer.

Can they get tech or data guys in to run VAR? Couldn't be any worse than the lads in there at the moment.

The can use the automated offside system used in the CL and serie A.

Ya know if you if your a rival fan and having a laugh tonight that's grand but the level of officiating is absolutely ruining the league. There is no excuse to hide behind, they have all the camera angles in the world to get the decision right every time.

The biggest problem I see is their is no accountability. I think there should be a public referee report after every game that the media are present.

This is quite the moment. The level of incompetence in PGMOL is stunning. This will start to effect confidence in the game. And confidence in the game is big business, people will stop betting on football if they feel the result is randomly decided by the officials.

Or make a training panel from retired foreign refs and look to hire and train ex foreign players as your new refs. Those players would have no connection to current PL teams and will have experience of playing at a professional level.

You could do something similar with the young lads who leave clubs early because of injury etc. Retrain them and give them a career in football.

There's to much money in the PL for this not to blow up. You can't keep saying you've the best league in the world, with the best players and best managers and then you've the absolute worst officiating.

It just gets worse 🤦‍♂️
